Eight Years Ago.......................May 20, 2000

Eight years ago...........................................................is when I became Mrs. Shawn Carey
Above is our wedding day picture! We had a very simple outdoor wedding with our families. There was a live band and we had buffet style BBQ. Each guest was asked to bring a dish. It was such a nice casual day!
The photo above is a picture of our family the day of our wedding. Abby was about a year and a half old. She was dressed in her sailor dress. (My brother was in the Navy at the time!)
Here is the happy couple having their first dance. I would not change anything about that day, EVER!!!! The most perfect wedding in my eyes!
This year we spent time together as a family and ate a really good meal and watched two movies, simple but great!

Thank You Shawn for loving me and being the best friend I have always dreamed of!

What a Happy Mother's Day!

Well, we actually did not do all that much. We had a yard sale to sell the wood products that my husband and his father have been making. Made some money. Camille made me some presents at school (she is in kindergarten), nice nice. I got my knitting box and 3 rose bushes. Also for dinner I had two small lobsters. All in all it was a very nice day, Thanks to my kids and husband!!! Here are some pics of my presents.

Memiere, We Love You!

Here it Is!

So remember that pretty material that Isabelle sent me from Japan? Well, here is the bag that I made with it. I absolutely LOVE it. Let me know what you think, please?!
There are a couple of different shots, one is of the front outside, with the polkadot pocket,
then the inside with my sock yarn and Knitting Rules! Book also is lined in polkadots,

the outside back is the sheep material. It is very sturdy and I think I made it well. It has been great using it out with the kids running errands and paying bills.
The final picture is of my husband and my 2 1/2 year old son. It is the first nice picture of my husband that I have been able to take in a long time. So I wanted to post it here.

Have a great day Everyone!!

Yesterday I got a letter from Isabelle and inside it was this beautiful fabric. She is my penpal in Japan. We met on Ravelry through the For the Love of Letters Group. I have the perfect thing in mind, I will post pics on that in a couple of days. Thanks Isabelle!

Now above is a picture of my first yarn that I spun all by myself on my drop spindle. It is a little sad looking but I am proud of myself. I am still working on it but time is limited right now. Just wanted to post some pics. Have a nice day!
